Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (HAW Hamburg) has a large network of partner universities worldwide which enables student exchange within the Erasmus Programme as well as with overseas partners. We also have a small number of places for freemovers. So, if you are an international student and would like to get a study abroad experience at a German university why not join our international guest students and spend a semester or two in Hamburg.

We offer a wide range of interesting programmes in engineering, life sciences, business, computer science, design, media and social sciences. A small number of these programmes have classes in English, so language does not have to be a barrier.
